Helping End Homelessness in Manchester

Manchester is a city on the rise, but like many growing urban areas, it faces a housing crisis that leaves too many without a place to call home. Homelessness continues to affect thousands across Greater Manchester, and despite the city’s progress in development and investment, the need for permanent, safe accommodation remains critical.

That’s why we’re proud to support Embassy Village – an inspiring initiative working to break the cycle of homelessness. This year, the Rothmore Property team is running the Great Manchester Run to raise funds for this vital project. And if you'd like to help, you can make a donation here.

Key Takeaways

• Homelessness remains a significant issue in Manchester, linked to wider housing shortages.
• Embassy Village offers a long-term solution with purpose-built homes and support.
• The Rothmore Property team is fundraising for Embassy Village through the Great Manchester Run.
• Projects like this help bridge the gap between emergency support and sustainable housing.

The Current Landscape of Homelessness in Manchester

Over recent years, Manchester has seen increasing demand for affordable and social housing. The cost-of-living crisis, reduced access to private rentals, and cuts in local services have left many vulnerable individuals without secure accommodation.

Rough sleeping is just the tip of the iceberg. Many more live in temporary shelters, sofa-surf, or are at risk of losing their homes. Manchester City Council and local charities have made strides in offering emergency support, but long-term solutions are still urgently needed.

Embassy Village: Building a Better Future

Embassy Village is a pioneering project located under the railway arches of Castlefield, providing much more than a roof over people's heads. Designed in partnership with property firms, local authorities, and homelessness charities, it aims to create a supportive community of 40 purpose-built homes.

Residents aren’t just given shelter – they’re offered wraparound support including:

• Employment training
• Training in budgeting and cooking
• Counselling and mentorship
• Help with addiction recovery
• Guidance on moving into permanent accommodation

The goal is lasting transformation – to help individuals rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society through dignity, stability, and opportunity.

Housing Shortage and the Bigger Picture

Embassy Village shines a light on the wider issue: homelessness can’t be solved without addressing the national housing shortage. There simply aren’t enough affordable homes available for those in need.

At Rothmore Property, we see this first-hand through the increasing pressure on the new build sector. While private developments attract investment and drive regeneration, there’s a growing need for more accessible housing options that prevent people from falling through the cracks.

Projects like Embassy Village help bridge this gap. But they can’t do it alone.
